APPASIONATA IX!!!!!
all that we have prepared in the last 7 months was gone in 2 and a 1/2 hours. and 2 and a 1/2 hours didnt seem long.ow. wait. my gum hurts.
anyway. this morning went for dental. the stupid dentist EARLIER DUN PUT, LATER DUN PUT, MUST PUT
TODAY. WHY MUSTY PUT THE BRACKETS
TODAY? TODAY? WHEN THERE'S
CONCERT???i was being pissed off with the stupid dentist. and that's why the brackets is practically piercing into my gums now. and there's blood. ya. no big deal -.-
then rushed to school and saw percussion coming into school gate. then we went to band room, took attendance, exchanged presents, tuned up, warmed, practiced some, then went down to audi. tune, warm up, sort of go through until 5.40 and went outside auditorium to have dinner. then went to band room to change and exchange somemore presents.
THANKYOU:

-Valerie, for your lolly. :)
-And EUGENIA!!!!! for your firesparklers, cardboard stocking and your card. :)))
-oh. and that someone whom gave a lollipop. (i forgot who. x( )
and eugenia's card was really touching. after all the things i've done to piss her off (opps! x) ) she was still very kind to me. :)))) and i like her handwriting. :)))))
"We are the music while the music last....."-yooj.
thenwe rushed down to audi and took our instruments backstage to wait for the audience to come in. then i began to be nervous. everyone was hugging each other. (me and jasmine too bad lah. holding double bass so only can hug double bass.) and jasmine was encouraging me.
"......you can do it one ok... cos you got he potential in you...... even though you dont like double bass, but since you got the chance to learn how to play it, just treasure your chance......."
and i was really touched. it all reminded me off the day of passing down.
"......you guys have potential one ok...... dont look down on yourself......"-aiwen.
amd elaine kept asking me for copacabana's rhythm.
then we went on stage. the amount of audience was depressing at first. sylvia promised a full-house. then as time went by, the number of audiences increased and it wasnt so depressing afterall. then we started with rosa.
once the music started, i wasnt nervous. we were the music while the music lasts. we were music. and then it all went like a musical dream. we played. all the solos were nice.
rosa was ok. then after rosa, some of the audiences who came late started spilling in again, which made more than full house. then simple gifts was quite nice. rhapsody. yan zhen was brilliant! ha. then festivo was good. except for rouhui's solo. haha. then ray charles was ok. all the standing stuff was good! :)
then intermission. helped perc to put lightsticks, went out of audi to meet people.
THANKYOU:
-SokKhoong
-Wayne
-Han Sheng
-and Ding Jie
for coming. :)
then after intermission was perc enzem. Japanese impressions. the lightsticks didnt show much, but chiristal's and huijuan's movements were impressive. me and jasmine took turns holding basses and watching percussion. then we went in for finale. I THINK WE RAWKED FINALE! AND NINETIES!!! the audience LOVED nineties. :) i was enjoying myself for those two pieces. then gershwin. screwed up abit on the last page. played wrong notes. x( then it was the end.
silence.
"encore!!!"
"encore!!!"
"encore!!!"
then ms chong came out again for copacabana. we brought the house down! heeheez. i spotted someone waving his hands to the music. x) . then after copacabana,
"ENCORE!!!"
ms chong came out and wore a santa hat. haha. then we all wore reindeer bands!!!! sok khoong said we looked cute.
"im sure soggy wants one of those."-ding
"me too."-soggy.
haha. the audience sang with us! then after christmas pop sing along, we went back stage to go up to band room.
and then it all came down to me.
it's over.all over. appassionata IX.it's over.next year, appassionata X.it's all over."Siewying,
